How can I click on "Bookmarks" in the Menu bar and it simply display my actual bookmarks rather than making me open another window and search for it?

Just dl FF 6.x. I finally found the Bookmarks drop down by adding the Menu bar. Now, I want to click on "Bookmarks" and then simply scroll down my list of bookmarks in the dropdown. As it stands now, I have to click on "Show All Bookmarks" or "Unsorted Bookmarks" just to be able to get to my bookmarks. A huge wate of time and effort. Any way to do this like the "old way". Or I as I say it, the way that works?

The Bookmarks sidebar is the same organization PLUS providing the same ability to search on strings within titles and url as you have on the Location Bar drop-down (AwesomeBar features).

To see the same on the sidebar

  • Bookmarks Toolbar - - don't expand
  • Bookmarks Menu -- Expand just one level, collapse sub-levels below that -- looks same
  • Unsorted Bookmarks -- don't expand

Same organization, don't see how you can be lost. You may prefer the always collapsed Bookmarks (menu).

To put things back to how you were used to, which is more efficient and takes up the same amount of space if you use styling in addition to steps 1-10 when compared to the inadequately featured poorly designed 4.0 style.

You can make Firefox 6.0.2 look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6). Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.

There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox even more functional.


Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it.

Thanks. this got me started in the right direction and I figured out how to do what I wanted. All I do is bookmark a site, an used to just drag/drop to a folder and access easily. Now I think I need to create folders in the Bookmarks menu, and then it is all accessible via the dropdown menu without having to open up a new window (like Unsorted Bookmarks").
